It is the sense of Congress that— Iran, as documented by the report of the Department of State entitled, Country Reports on Terrorism 2021 , is the leading state sponsor of terrorism in the world; Hamas has repeatedly carried out acts of terror against Israel, citizens of the United States, and innocent civilians, including the October 2023 assault against Israel that resulted in the brutal murder of innocent men, women, and children; given the fungible nature of money, funds released to Iran for so-called humanitarian purposes cannot be reliably prevented from funding future terrorist attacks, especially when the Government of Iran has explicitly acknowledged their willingness to use any and all monetary gains to support the ideology of their regime; and in the face of this reality, the United States Government should consider every available tool to immediately restrict access by Iran to any and all funds that are used to finance international terrorism.
